Times: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Days: W
Sessions: 4
Building: ICC Peoria Campus
Room: Hickory Hall 106
Instructor: Jean Griffith
Have you ever wondered why that flower or landscape that you have just painted does not “speak to you”? Something is wrong…Is it the color mixture, the lack of tonal contrast, or simply the composition? In this class, you will learn about “The Rule of Thirds”, “The Rule of Uneven Objects”, and how to effectively use the horizon line in landscapes. The instructor will provide a pattern, or template, and demonstrate each step of the painting process. All levels of experience are welcome to this class.
Supply List:
1. Tubes of Acrylic Paints: (Liquitex Basics) Cadmium red (or Permanent red), Ultramarine blue (or Cobalt blue), Cadimium yellow (light or medium) and Titanium white small bottle of Gesso (Liquitex)
2. Brushes: Acrylic sizes 8 (round) & a 2-inch-wide flat (Master’s Touch). If you have other acrylic brushes bring them along. Brushes previously used for oils will not work well with acrylic paint.
3. Canvas: Pressed canvas boards. The canvas boards are often a less expensive choice and are found in bargain packs. Bring 2 to class.
4. Palette: This should be a white non-porous surface for mixing paint. Watercolor palettes will not work with acrylics; you will need a large surface for mixing paints.
5. Notepad: Important to have to write quick notes during the instructor’s demonstrations.
6. Old oversized shirt or a smock to protect your clothing. Acrylics are difficult, if impossible to remove from clothing.
7. Small spray bottle for water.
8. Paper towels.
9. Plastic table cover for covering work surface. Purchase at Dollar Stores.
The instructor will provide templates (patterns) to speed up the painting project.
